There ^Gwas a man and he ^Dlived in the east His trade, it was cutting down brooms, green ^Cbrooms ^DHe had a ^Cson and his name was ^GJohn And he ^Dstayed in bed until noon, '^Ctil noon He ^Gstayed in ^Cbed until ^Dnoon

So the ^Gfather arose and ^Dup to John goes He swore he would burn his room, gay ^Croom If ^Dhe didn't ^Crise and sharpen his ^Gknives And go ^Ddown to the wood to cut brooms, green ^Cbrooms And go ^Gdown to the ^Cwood to cut ^Dbrooms

So, ^GJohnny went on down ^Dthrough the green wood 'Til he came to a castle of fame, fame, ^Cfame He ^Dspied a fair ^Cmaid and he stood at the ^Ggate Crying, "Fair ^Dmaid, do you want any brooms, green ^Cbrooms? Fair ^Gmaid, do you ^Cwant any ^Dbrooms?"

This ^Glady, being up in her ^Dwindow so high She spied this young man, so terribly ^Cneat She ^Dsaid to her ^Cmaid, "Go down to the ^Ggate And call ^Din this young man with his brooms, green ^Cbrooms Call ^Gin this young ^Cman with his ^Dbrooms"
